Syrian envoy claims most arms are smuggled from Lebanon

Share:

Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdel Karim Ali on Tuesday claimed that “the largest amount of smuggled arms is coming from a brotherly country, Lebanon.”

“Smuggling arms and armed men, hosting deserters and mercenaries does not reflect a policy of disassociation,” Ali told Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television station.

He also said that “nourishing terrorist acts by smuggling arms and providing help to the ‘so-called Free Syrian Army’ harms the ties between Lebanon and Syria.”

Ali’s comments come after Lebanese Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour, who has come under harsh criticism by March 14 politicians over his position at the Arab League’s meetings on Damascus, defended Monday Lebanon’s policy to dissociate itself from the 10-month unrest in Syria.“The dissociation policy is not a Lebanese innovation and does not mean a no-stance, but not forcing Lebanon to comply with the adopted position,” Mansour told a delegation from the Journalists’ Union.

“Lebanon is a special case. It does not support or oppose any decision taken by the Arab League. Lebanon’s special relations with Syria make us take the decision which is good for Lebanon’s interest in the first place, and for the special relations between Lebanon and Syria by virtue of the geographical, historical, family, commercial and economic situation. Whether we like it or not, we have to take all these matters into consideration,” he said.

“Lebanon’s system is sectarian while Syria’s is secular. In Syria, there is a one-party system, while in Lebanon there is a plurality of parties. In Syria, there is a presidential system, while in Lebanon there is a parliamentary system,” Mansour said, adding: “Therefore, there is a difference in the ruling systems. But our common denominator is security and stability. Here lies our supreme interest regardless of those who do not want relations with Syria for personal reasons.

“Whether we like it or not, we are affected by what is happening around us. If we close our border with Syria, who will lose? We will in the first place. Ninety percent of our external trade to the Gulf is exported by land via the Syrian gate,” Mansour added.

The Syrian regime blames “terrorist gangs ” for the popular unrest that has swept the country since mid-March, with the United Nations estimating that at least 5,400 people have been killed since the uprising started .

    Syrian people are supporting the Free Syrian army. This guy is supporting the Assad thug ,Iranian malignant regime and Hezbushaitan.Before 6 months the situation was different but now free Syrian Army is gaining ground and after 6 months things can be very different and that time this Ali will be in hiding..where will you go Ali? if you go to Iran then you will meet Afghan Mujaheddin attacking Iran, If you go to Syria then the free Syrian Army will get you and if you stay in Lebanon the Lebanese people will catch you like a mouse.Its better for all these politician to get the message because its a time of change and its happening fast.

  5. If the PEOPLE of Lebanon want to help the free Syrian Army, it’s not Hezbollahs (a world recognized terrorist organization) position.You may have stolen power, but when Assad falls, your next

  7. Ambassador Ali, where were you for the last 30 years when armaments were smuggled to Lebanon for various undisciplined parties such as Palestinians , Amal , Hizallah, AlQaaida, you were sitting back and enjoying yourself while Lebanon was burning, at least you need to shut up and be quiet , What goes around comes around, if you have heard that phrase before.

      I do agree with you with all what was said except calling that idiot an Ambassador. He is no ambassador to me. He should be kicked out of Lebanon and all ties severed with the current Syrian dictatorship.

      1. I agree with you except i respect the position but not him, his eyes are devious and seems like a guys that likes to plot.

    Nice he noticed, and, good for the brave people of Lebanon.  Maybe he’ll be among the next casualties of the Syrian leadership(along with the ‘Chinless Twins’).

    “Lebanon is a special case.”
    Yah … it’s the only place you held under a thumb for 15 years while populating it with sympathizers, and which now lives in fear even if they got rid of your army.
